Think of This

Many people have neglected slight manifesto
lions of humor in the blood till the foul matter
has become powerful as to cause terrible scrof-
ulOus sores, awful suffering and, finally, as the
system becomes drained of all its strength, death.
Some have neglected distress after eating, heart
burn occasional headaches, and other early SYM
ptoms of dyspepsia, till this painful disease has
become incurable, and the victim barely sustains
a miserable existence.
Others neglect that tired feeling, pains in the
back, weakness, languor till general debility and
kidney or liver disease becomes firmly fixed upon
them and there is no hope of recovery.
Be wise in time; Hoods Sarsaparilla will cure
when in the power of medicine, scrofula, salt
rheum, bois, pimples, dyspepsia, headache, bill
iousness, catarrh, rheumatism that tired feeling.
and any disease or affection caused by impure
blood or low state of the system.
Be sure to get "the peculiar medicine"
